I still hear your voice when I sleep while you speak,
I still hear you drone in my dreams,
Forgive me my weakness; I'm not even tired,
I swear I'm just resting my eyes,

"Cuz every time you talk, it's unappealing,
And every time you teach, I swear I could die,
Oh, can't you see my test scores drop?
I want this to stop,
I need to strain my eyes,
"Cuz every time you address so dogmatic,
And every word I miss is closer to July,
Can't you see my dark eyes roll?
My brain is so full,
I need some shut-eye,

Every single class full,
Of students, you try,
To teach about drought and Masai,
"Bout wood lines and math sines, I don't even know,
While I'm counting down minutes to go,

"Cuz every time you speak, my brain starts peeling,
And everything you ask, I cannot reply,
Because I'm in a world of dreams, it's not what it seems,
I swear I really try,
"Cuz when I hear the bell, I feel ecstatic,
At forty-five minutes, I swear I could cry,
"Cuz when I hear you start to drone, things all just get slow,
I have no alibi,

"Cuz every time class starts, I get this feeling,
It's swirling in my gut like I'm gonna die,
Why can't it be somewhat fast until end of class?
Maybe I'll skip today and lie.
